Topic: It can be done.
Ok I know like many others out there I have been struggling to get that last few lbs off. I was pretty much thinking im where im at and thats the farthest Im gonna get.
Well I was wrong 
We are having a biggest loser contest at work. Some people thought it would motivate people to lose and I thought what the heck. We paid 5 bucks to get in then 2 each week at weigh in unless you were the biggest loser for the week then you didnt have to pay. Well the first week I lost 2, then the next week 4 (woo hoo) with the body percent thing i was the biggest loser that week then i was up 2 oz the next week but on my monthly so really good there then drum roll please this week down 4. Girls Im here to tell you I might have actually won this thing to my own surprise. I will let you know later. I dont work again till Sunday and they have a few more people to weigh in. Wish me luck. Its a nice little chunk of change if I win and im going on vacation next week. Even if i dont win 10 lbs woo hool
So the moral of the story is dont give up!!! We can do this.

Michelle,
Sorry to say no pic and since the new format, lost my info. I am currently residing in Germany where I work for the US govt. I had the surgery done over here by one of the top surgeons for Gastric Bypass, Prof Weiner. I weighed about 275 at surgery and am about 158-160 depending on the day, etc. I weighed this since June 2005 and at the time of tummy tuck and breast lift. I did not loose that much weight in skin maybe two to three pounds? My biggest skin problem is my butt and thighs( Lift of both to be scheduled late this year or next year?) but most plastic surgoens will not do butt if tummy is'nt done first. They will not DO a full body lift here in Germany(well it is rare and expensive) becaue of how much time under anestesia and recovery issues.
I found that I only lost an additional three pounds so I guess I am about 155-157? I have decided this is where I will be forever....I do not give up foods to loose weight and WONT fall into that again. I am self indulgent and will have a drink or two when I go out (beer or wine mainly which is fantastic over here) and will have a bit of a snack food with sugar. I do not deny me anything but moderate the amount I eat. If that means I stay at this weight with all the physical activity: So be it!! Best of luck to you. jacqueline

Wheres your pictures? I was hoping to see you and read about you but there was no information!! How much did you weigh before you had the tummy tuck? I wondered how much the skin weighs and maybe that was part of the weight.

WOW Paula, you look gorgeous!! Love that new picture!!
I havent been on here for awhile, although I do read all the posts.
I was outside yesterday too, it was 80 degrees here. My plants are sprouting, the hyacinths are blooming and the rosebushes are greening up! I got so excited! Gonna go buy some stuff tomorrow. We have this new home and need so much stuff for landscaping, we barely got started on it last year.
Gotta run, just wanted to jump in here!! Have a great day everyone!
Blessings

Hi Paula,
It was such a beautiful day yesterday. My daughter actually raked up the front lawn. She wanted to buy flowers and plant them but we told her better not do it yet just in case of another snow storm. Since this winter has been so strange.
I love this time of year. It makes me feel so alive and now I'm sure we all feel alive. What a difference this journey has made.
